Based on the wheel assemblies and size this is going to be a silky smooth ride

Thinking about it, man is that really quiet too.

Probably different when riding the damn thing, but that sounds extremely quiet.

It’s very quiet and “hauls ass” are two things I was told lol

Told y’all, whisper quiet.

Great get, @RollermanDan, you da man!

Can’t wait to see more!

 

[Magic-Man]

...are you referring to the Chassis?

Is that what it's called? Then yes.

 

[Mike S]

Looks like it was filmed from the gas station nextdoor

Makes me wonder if we’ll be able to see the gas station from the ride but I can’t imagine that view being there for much longer.

They are hidden from view at the load areas, and aren't visible really while you are on the ride. You should see the ones for Mummy/Gringotts.

They should add Motorbike sounds to make it more authentic to the movies.

They will.

EDIT: Audible to riders only though, similar to Gringotts and Spider-Man/Transformers on board audio to create engine sounds.

this is what I was thinking. You may be able to see it when watching the coaster, but while you're on it, you will barely notice it, or be able to even see the bottom.

Luckily we will barely be able to see much of the coaster from inside the park. Even entering the exterior queue, we'll be looking down on the trains passing by so it won't be too noticeable I'm sure.

May I ask how the chassis will be hidden from view in load? I initially thought of folding platforms a la Sheikra but you can't really do that if the trains are moving continuously.

The walking platform would likely snug up next to the ride vehicle.

Same way it does for most Universal rides, the chassis is set lower than the load platform. Transformers, Gringotts, Mummy, all have fake wheels you see. The real ones are set lower than the platform you are standing on, and the platform sits pretty close to the vehicle, so the real wheels are out of view.

I would imagine the loader belt will overhang the track a bit like on Rockit

Good news, looks like it has different restraints from Wavebreaker. Definitely much more comfortable looking

I eat my words, it where the real ride vehicles on that photo from Universal and I love them, they are stunning.
looking at the vehicles there could never be a hold on up the spike. There are no head rests on these vehicles. Now the rider will fall back just as fast as the vehicle so no head support will be needed.

I would assume your front page would be ok to link, correct?
